In this study, a series of concrete cubes was produced by incorporating varying percentages of nanomaterials titanium dioxide (TiO₂) as a partial substitute for ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The replacement levels chosen for TiO₂ were 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of the OPC content. Initial assessments encompassed fundamental material examinations and evaluations of the freshly mixed concrete. Subsequently, the focus shifted to conducting compressive strength tests on the manufactured concrete cubes. Using nanomaterials cube gives more compressive strength compared to normal concrete cube. Compressive strength increases as TiO₂ content increases. But, after 15% TiO₂ content we increased it to 20% TiO₂ content then we saw that strength starts decreasing. As compared to conventional concrete there is an increase in compressive strength by 10% in TiO₂ concrete cube. To check the durability water absorption test was done which shows TiO₂ concrete cube absorbs 28.4% less water as compared to the conventional concrete.
